Shafiqul Alam Creates The Bengal Classical Music Festival Festival

Shafiqul Alam, the architect of the awarded design Award Winning Bengal Classical Music Festival Festival points out, Eastern classical music is a conversation of love spoken in syllables of purity and reflection. To encapsulate this, a generative system based on &#039;Raga&#039; was developed. A symbol – the statue of a musician sitting at peace, her hands liberating the tunes from her Tanpura – was chosen as the core seed of the system to generate design elements unique to each performer&#039;s music. The lighting of the statue for each generations reflected the different times of the day-night when a &#039;Raga&#039; is played. .
